Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of CNC lathe technology, and in particular to a quick tool change device for a CNC lathe. Background Technology

[0002] CNC lathes are among the most widely used CNC machine tools. They are mainly used for cutting the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads of shaft or disc parts. They can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, boring, and other machining operations.

[0003] In the process of fixing tools, most existing fixing devices use multiple sets of bolts to lock them to the connecting seat. However, fixing with bolts requires the operator to rotate multiple sets of bolts, which makes the tool disassembly and assembly process time-consuming and reduces the efficiency of tool replacement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that existing tool-fixing devices typically use multiple sets of bolts to lock the tool to the connecting seat, which requires operators to rotate these bolts and makes tool replacement time-consuming and inefficient, this application provides a quick tool change device for CNC lathes.

[0005] The quick tool changing device for a CNC lathe provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A quick-change tool device for a CNC lathe includes a connecting seat, an assembly set on one side of the connecting seat, a tool detachably mounted on the outer surface of the assembly set, a movable shaft in the middle of the assembly set, both ends of the movable shaft being rotatably connected to the assembly set via bearings, a drive assembly for rotating the movable shaft at one end of the movable shaft, a pressing block being helically mounted on the outer surface of the movable shaft, multiple through holes evenly spaced circumferentially on the outer surface of the assembly set, each through hole having a limit rod slidingly passing through it, one end of the limit rod passing through a roller in contact with the pressing block inside the assembly set, and a spring being fixedly mounted on its outer side, the other end of the spring being fixedly connected to the side wall of the assembly set, the tool consisting of a tool holder and a tool body, an assembly groove matching the assembly set in the middle of the tool holder, and multiple limiting holes matching the limit rods evenly spaced circumferentially on the assembly groove.

[0007] Preferably, the extrusion block has a frustum-shaped structure, and guide blocks are provided on both sides of one end. The inner sidewall of the assembly is provided with guide grooves that match the guide blocks. The guide blocks are slidably installed in the guide grooves.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a worm gear fixedly sleeved on one end of the movable shaft, a worm gear meshing with and driving one side of the worm gear, one end of the worm gear being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the assembly, and the other end extending through to the outside of the assembly and fixed with a knob.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded groove is formed on the outer surface of one end of the movable shaft, and a threaded hole matching the threaded groove is formed inside the extrusion block.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the assembly and the tool holder are respectively provided with installation marks.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] The quick tool changer of this CNC lathe can quickly install and remove tools. When disassembling, the movable shaft can be rotated in the opposite direction, causing the extrusion block to move away from the extrusion roller. At this time, the spring returns to its original elasticity, thereby causing the limit rod to retract into the assembly, so that the tool holder can be removed and the tool can be disassembled. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0019] A quick tool changing device for a CNC lathe includes a connecting seat 1, a mounting set 2 on one side of the connecting seat 1, a tool detachably mounted on the outer surface of the mounting set 2, a movable shaft 3 in the middle of the mounting set 2, the two ends of the movable shaft 3 being rotatably connected to the mounting set 2 via bearings, a drive assembly for rotating the movable shaft 3 at one end, a pressing block 4 being helically mounted on the outer surface of the movable shaft 3, multiple through holes equally spaced in the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the mounting set 2, limit rods 5 slidingly passing through the through holes, one end of the limit rod 5 passing through the mounting set 2 and a roller 6 in contact with the pressing block 4, and a spring 7 fixedly mounted on the outer side, the other end of the spring 7 being fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting set 2, the tool consisting of a tool holder 8 and a tool body 9, an assembly groove matching the mounting set being opened in the middle of the tool holder 8, and multiple limiting holes 10 matching the limit rods 5 being equally spaced in the circumferential direction of the assembly groove.

[0020] During installation, first align the mounting slot on the tool holder 8 with the mounting accessory 2, then slip it onto the outside of the mounting accessory 2. Next, adjust the drive assembly to rotate the movable shaft 3, causing the pressing block 4, which is helically mounted on the outer surface of the movable shaft 3, to move linearly outside the movable shaft 3. The pressing block 4, with its inclined outer surface, presses against the roller 6, thereby simultaneously pressing the limiting rod 5 to move outward towards the mounting accessory 2. At the same time, it presses the spring 7, causing multiple limiting rods 5 to pass through the through holes and insert into the limiting holes 10 in the mounting slot on the tool holder 8, thus achieving quick and secure installation. Similarly, when disassembly is required, the movable shaft 3 can be rotated in the opposite direction, causing the pressing block 4 to move and stop pressing the roller 6. At this time, the spring 7 returns to its elasticity, causing the limiting rod 5 to retract into the mounting accessory 2, allowing the tool holder 8 to be removed and the tool to be disassembled as a whole. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0021] The extrusion block 4 adopts a frustum-shaped structure, and guide blocks 11 are provided on both sides of one end. The inner side wall of the assembly 2 is provided with guide grooves that match the guide blocks 11. The guide blocks 11 are slidably installed in the guide grooves. The extrusion block 4 adopts a frustum-shaped structure, which makes its outer surface inclined, so as to cooperate with the movement of the extrusion limiting rod 5. When the extrusion block 4 moves, it drives the guide blocks 11 to move in the guide grooves, which plays a guiding and limiting role.

[0022] The drive assembly includes a worm gear 12 fixedly sleeved on one end of the movable shaft 3. A worm 13 is meshed and driven on one side of the worm gear 12. One end of the worm 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the assembly 2, and the other end extends through to the outside of the assembly 2 and is fixed with a knob 14. During installation, the worm 13 can be rotated by the knob 14, thereby driving the worm gear 12 and the movable shaft 3 to rotate synchronously.

[0023] The outer surface of one end of the movable shaft 3 is provided with a threaded groove, and the inside of the extrusion block 4 is provided with a threaded hole that matches the threaded groove. When the movable shaft 3 rotates, it can drive the extrusion block 4 to make linear motion outside the movable shaft 3.

[0024] The outer surfaces of the fitting 2 and the tool holder 8 are respectively provided with installation marks 15. During installation, the installation marks 15 on the outer surface of the tool holder 8 are aligned with the installation marks 15 on the outer surface of the fitting 2, and then the fitting is put on the outside of the fitting 2. At this time, when the limiting rod 5 moves outward, it can be inserted into the limiting hole in the mounting groove on the tool holder 8, which facilitates the installation.

[0025] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
